FLEX RESTRAINT
Key Features Fits any PE pipe in the size range of 160mm to 1600mm Can be welded by any standard EF control box with barcode or manual input Option including bolt hole securing point Designed and tested to support 7000 LBS/3100 dN (kg) of axial force Use multiple units to achieve required force restraint
For axial restraint of PE pipe.
The restraint is a flexible bar, which is fused to the pipe by electrofusion to create a welded shoulder that can restrain the axial movement of pipes in various applications:
Anchoring the pipe to a concrete wall such as a manhole or tank.
Restraining the pipe to a gasket bell fitting to facilitate cross connection with other piping systems.
Blocking pipe movement after slip-lining.
Bolt hole for securing additional equipment.
Clips for attaching the 50mm clamping strap.
Side mounted 4.0mm terminals.
Concealed wire - eliminates risk of smoke or unintentional contact with hot wire.
Technical Details: Size:
Fits any PE pipe in the size range of 160-1600mm. Wall thickness ≥ 8.5mm
Raw Material:
Made of PE 100 / PE4710 resin.
Welding Data Input:
Can be welded by any standard EF control box with barcode or manual input. Designed and tested to support 7000 LBS/3100 dN (kg) of axial force. Use multiple units to achieve required force restraint
Axial Load Restraint Capacity:
Terminal size:
4.0mm terminals.
Installation The flex restraint is installed by using normal EF preparation (scraping and cleaning). The flex restraint(s) should be clamped by using a 11/4” or larger ratchet tie down strap. Make sure the flex restraint is in full contact with the pipe.
Allow to cool for the indicated time before removing the strap. Wait 4 times cooling period before applying full load.
Flex Restraint Tension Belt.
